One of my favorite heavyweight fights is Toney/Holyfield......man he just OWNED Evander. Everyone wants to ride Holyfields joy toy......but Toney fought all who came.
We all agree that TOney was perhaps one of the best of his generation and that he perhaps got robbed but his lack of conditioning as been extremely expensive, a top shape Toney would have mangled Sam Peters on both occasion without a possible shadow of controversy.
